Chapter 1131, Macedonian phalanx
"Brothers, the distance is almost the same. Come with me!"
After walking fifty meters away from the spear formation under the rain of arrows, Wolf Tokuji, who was responsible for commanding the werewolf heavy infantry to charge, immediately issued an order to charge.
"Run!"
After receiving the order, the werewolf warriors holding double shields immediately ran and increased their speed to the fastest before rushing to the spear formation.
Facing the cold sword jungle in front of him, the werewolf warrior rushed in front directly protected his head and chest with the shield on his hands, and then directly used his body as a weapon to hit the sword jungle that was terrifying to look at.
As hundreds of werewolf warriors crashed into the sharp blade jungle like human sandbags, a crackling sound of spear breaking and the puffing sound of spear piercing objects was heard on the battlefield.
The sharpest spear faces the strongest shield. Once the winner is decided between the two, the result is nothing more than the spear breaking or the shield being pierced.
Originally, Macedonian spears could not easily pierce the double shield, and the spear rod made of Shanlaiyingmu was not so easy to break.
However, the werewolf heavy infantry rushed to the formation too fast. After raising the speed to the highest level, they directly fired their bodies like shells.
Such a large impact force immediately formed a huge force and reaction force after acting on the Macedonian spear, so those spears and shields that were not very qualified were directly knocked back to their original form.
The first wave of the werewolf heavy infantry was not achieved much except for breaking some Macedonian spears. The blood clan warriors holding the spear only shook their bodies slightly. With the excellent counterweight of the Macedonian spear, they successfully blocked the attack.
However, with the second wave, the third wave of werewolf heavy infantry crashed into the square formation one after another, and there were more broken Macedonian spears immediately, and a lot of space appeared in the originally dense jungle of sharp blades.
After seeing the airwall appear, the nearby werewolf heavy infantry immediately rushed into the airwall.
Although they had no weapons in their hands, their shields and bodies were their best weapons at this time. They once again smashed their flesh and blood to the enemy.
"Don't abandon the spear and kill the enemy in close proximity."
Seeing that many werewolf heavy infantry had already broken into the spear formation, Sun Junyi, who was standing on the command tower, immediately issued a new order loudly.
After hearing Sun Junyi's loud shout, the vampire warriors who were approached by werewolf heavy infantry immediately released the spear in their hands, and then quickly pulled out the heavy sword hanging around their waists and fought with the enemy.
In the ancient Macedonian phalanx, those soldiers who arranged the formation were basically professional spearmen. Once they were approached, they could only be slaughtered.
Training an elite soldier who can be in a consistent manner is very time-consuming. It is precisely because of this shortcoming that the Macedonian phalanx was eliminated after several failures.
No matter what kind of military formation has shortcomings, the Macedonian phalanx was not eliminated because of its fatal shortcomings. The reason why it was eliminated was mainly due to the large number of soldiers who deployed the formation.
Although the Macedonian phalanx has strong offensive ability, it is not possible to train and form in a short period of time.
As long as they are defeated once, the soldiers who set up their formations will basically be explained on the battlefield. How many forces have so much energy to train such a fragile military formation?
The Macedonian Legion formed by Sun Junyi, all the blood clan warriors he selected were among the best among the blood clans.
He has invested too much energy and countless money in this blood clan army.
If this blood clan army easily suffered a large number of casualties, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be wasted?
Therefore, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of this blood clan army, Sun Junyi not only trained them to set up formations and kill enemies, but also focused on strengthening their personal abilities.
It is no exaggeration to say that the vampire warriors he trained to pick up the spears to make the enemy scared. Putting down the spears is an elite vampire light infantry legion.
The ancient Roman heavy sword, specially used for melee battles, uses half-body fish scale armor made of demon scales. These two equipment greatly improves the battlefield survival rate of the formation blood clan warriors.
So as Sun Junyi said, as long as he did not encounter the army of heavy infantry in the bears that were unreasonable in close combat, his Macedonian phalanx was not afraid of any light infantry corps at all.
The fact is just as Sun Junyi expected. When the blood clan warriors in the square formation threw away their spears and drew out their heavy swords, the werewolf heavy infantry, who had already suffered heavy losses due to the rushing formation, immediately suffered a heavier blow.
Although the three-layer leather armor and dual-held shield greatly improved their defense, they also lost their sharp attack ability before.
So facing the vampire warriors who suddenly transformed into melee soldiers, they could only continue to rush forward with their heads in silence like shells that had been fired out of the bore.
Although the heavy sword in the hands of the vampire warrior could not pierce the thick three layers of leather armor at once, the werewolf warrior's bodies were not completely wrapped in leather armor, and many parts of the body were exposed.
So when all the heavy swords of the blood clan warriors greeted them on their exposed body parts, they immediately became the slaughter of the square formation.
"ah!"
The blood-filled wolf Dezhi let out a shrill scream.
As the commander of this werewolf heavy infantry, Lang Dezhi was lucky enough to survive until now.
Since he had no weapons in his hand, he could only use his shield to protect his head and kept rushing forward.
During the charge of Wolf Dezhi, several heavy swords fell on his body one after another, but due to the protection of the shield and three layers of leather armor, he did not suffer any serious damage.
After seeing Lang Dezhi, it was like a big sandbag that was invulnerable to swords and guns, a vampire warrior located in front of Lang Dezhi's side insidiously pointed the heavy sword in his hand at Lang Dezhi's right leg.
Lang Dezhi did not notice this fatal attack and directly sent his right leg to the opponent's heavy sword.
Under the huge impact force, Lang Dezhi's right leg was cut into two sections from his knee.
After losing his right leg, Lang Dezhi's body rushing forward immediately lost balance and fell directly ahead.
After learning that he could no longer survive today, the animal nature in Lang Dezhi's body immediately exploded.
As several nearby heavy swords slashed at him, he pushed the ground with his left leg and rushed directly to the vampire warrior closest to him.
After knocking the vampire warrior over, he immediately hugged the other person tightly and bit the other person's neck.
"ah!"
The vampire warrior who was bitten on his neck immediately screamed. He struggled desperately to break free from the tear of Wolf Dezhi. At the same time, several heavy swords next to him also fell on Wolf Dezhi.
Seeing that his companion who was with him day and night were bitten by the enemy's neck, several nearby vampire warriors all tried their best to attack Lang Dezhi in order to rescue the other party.
However, no matter how the vampire warrior attacked him, Lang Dezhi had no intention of letting go. He endured great pain and refused to let go.
In just a moment, Lang Dezhi was completely killed by several heavy swords that attacked back and forth.
However, when a vampire warrior wanted to pull the body of Lang Dezhi, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull it. Lang Dezhi's mouth still bit the neck of the vampire warrior, and he did not let go until he died.
After seeing that the bitten vampire warrior had no breath, several vampire warriors nearby could only give up and move away from Lang Dezhi's body and re-direct their eyes to the battlefield ahead.
When the werewolf heavy infantry headed by Wolf Dezhi was ruthlessly slaughtered by the vampire warriors, other werewolf warriors finally successfully broke through the area covered by arrow rain after paying a certain amount of casualties.
"kill!"
After seeing that his companions had helped them destroy the enemy's spear formation with their flesh and blood, the werewolf warriors who had broken through the rain of arrows immediately rushed towards the blood clan warriors holding heavy swords.
Facing a large number of werewolf warriors holding scimitars, the vampire warriors in the phalanx could no longer slaughter as freely as before.
Although they have excellent defenses with half-body fish scale armor, they have taken advantage of in close combat.
But as more and more werewolf warriors poured into the square, their casualties gradually accelerated.
The werewolf warrior who fights alone and has a disadvantage in equipment is not an opponent of the vampire warriors.
However, when two or three werewolf warriors attacked the same vampire warrior at the same time, even with the protection of half-body fish scale armor, the vampire warriors could not resist the ferocious attack of the werewolf warriors.
When the human army fights in close combat, their greatest advantage is the military formation and various advanced weapons and equipment.
When both advantages are offset, the human army can only rely on its numerical advantage if it wants to defeat the enemy.
But now the enemy is the one who has a clear advantage in numbers, so the vampire warriors in the phalanx gradually began to lose their support under the fierce attack of the werewolf warriors.
Seeing the square formation located in the front being swallowed by the enemy bit by bit, Sun Junbo was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat. On the other hand, Sun Junyi still looked like he was without a javelin and had no idea of taking any measures.
"Junyi, where is your killer weapon? Why don't you use it yet?
Seeing that the enemy was about to swallow half of the square formation you arranged, I was afraid that I would not be able to turn the world around in a while.”
After waiting for a while, seeing that Sun Junyi did not move at all, Sun Junbo finally couldn't help but urge him.
"No hurry, it's not time yet."
Without even looking at Sun Junbo, Sun Junyi still looked calm and gentle.
Seeing that Sun Junyi was unwilling to talk more, Sun Junbo could only turn his attention to the battlefield again.
At this time, with the full influx of werewolf troops on the battlefield, Sun Junyi's arrangement was immediately suppressed and retreated step by step.
When the blood clan army retreated to the rear of the Mutou Camp, the east gate of the camp, which had not been moved, suddenly opened, and then suddenly rushed out of the inside, holding a Macedonian spear. On both sides of the small square were hundreds of sharp-horned demon warriors.
When the small square formation rushed out, the werewolf army under Lang Wubing was located on the east side of Mutou Camp, so their flanks were immediately exposed to the attack of the small square formation.
"Quick, stop them."
After discovering that thousands of people rushed out of the Mutou camp, Lang Wubing, who had just smiled, immediately changed his face.
Although he had reacted as soon as he discovered the enemy situation, many werewolf warriors who were closer to Mutou Camp also quickly turned around, but it was still too late.
The square formation of 1,024 blood clan warriors rushed towards the werewolf warriors who had just turned their heads in neat steps.
After discovering that the small square formation in front of him could still move, many werewolf warriors were all surprised.
Looking at the approaching sword jungle, the werewolf warriors located in the front were all at a loss.
They didn't know whether they should rush up or avoid them.
While the werewolf warriors were hesitating, this small Macedonian phalanx had already rushed to them.
As the dense spears crashed into the werewolf warriors who were still stunned, a creepy sound of flesh being pierced from the battlefield immediately came from the battlefield. Countless werewolf warriors facing the Macedonian spear were all stabbed into hornet's nests.
Although the Macedonian phalanx has various shortcomings, it also has a very terrifying advantage.
That is, once the Macedonian phalanx has the advantage in charge, the next battlefield will be a slaughter show of the Macedonian phalanx.
When the werewolf warriors in the first row fell one after another, the massacre was just beginning.
As the Macedonian phalanx continued to advance, the sharp Macedonian spear was immediately covered with blood, and all the werewolf warriors who dared to appear in front of the phalanx turned into a corpse on the ground.
Wherever the Macedonian phalanx passed, there were corpses everywhere.
As the bloody smell on the battlefield became stronger and stronger, a faint red mist gradually appeared on the body surface of many blood clan warriors, and the blood clan's unique bloodthirsty desire talent was successfully activated.
The Macedonian phalanx that rushed out of the Mutou Camp was already unstoppable. When the entire phalanx was covered by light red blood mist, the murderous formation immediately became even more terrifying.
As this small Macedonian phalanx showed its power, the flanks of the werewolf army were immediately devastating, so the blood clan warriors who successfully activated their bloodthirsty and desire talent also took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and they began to slowly advance the front.
